some of you mistake linguistic overlap for equivalence. related meanings aren't identical definitions! just because ellen desired/was drawn to orlok doesn't really mean she loved him. the script distinguishes desire, compulsion and appetite from love
flirting is supposed to be plausibly deniable! that's the whole point!!! if the person you're flirting with ever finds out for sure you're flirting with them, you've lost
The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.
Dont mean to attack anyone, but I feel really weirded out when I came across cosplay clones on tiktok or reels. Like do you know what I'm referring to? those accounts that are a literal copy and paste of other bigger creators accounts. It's not even about the cosplay choice but the exact same manners, type of video, video backgrounds, even out cosplay fashion style, clothes, haircut, sometimes even BODYTYPE feels altered to look like the og's ones.. I feel like they want people to mistake them for the og creator but for what purpose..
Like I don't think they're trying to hide the intention because it's just so obvious, but what's the point of doing that? Like the og creator does X and the clones does X the exact same way the week later. Why is that? are they profiting from the original creator ideas? wouldn't it be more profitable to create their own identity?
Of course this is not about having inspos and getting ideas from other creators in a healthy way, it's something extremely specific that I see big creators experiencing costantly. I don't want to make examples because it's not about me and I don't want to involve anyone but I'm sure you know what I mean if you came across one of them
